Kate Hudson Gets Into a Hairy Legal Situation

BellaSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:00:18 -0700

You know how Kate Hudson helped design a hair-care line? Well, things are getting more snarled than a day-old bouffant, because Kate's been hit with a lawsuit. E! Online reports that Kate and hair stylist David Babaii worked with 220 Laboratories, which developed a "Vanuatu Complex" for the products. But according to the lawsuit, things got hairy when the duo took the top-secret ingredient and took it to another manufacturer, which agreed to create the line for less money.

220 Laboratories admits that their deal with Kate and David was an oral agreement, not a written contract. And Kate's publicist, Brad Cafarelli, says, "Kate does not know the plaintiffs and has never met with them or spoken with them. Her representatives believe that the claims are baseless and without merit and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit." I'm hoping that's the case - Kate just doesn't seem like the kind of ruthless person to steal someone's formula, does she?

New Product Alert: Kate Hudson and David Babaii for Wildaid

BellaSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 09:35:40 -0700

It has been nearly a year since Kate Hudson announced that she was diving into the beauty business, and only now are we able to see the fruits of her labor. Kate, with stylist David Babaii, worked to create David Babaii for Wildaid. The 10-piece line currently consists of all the usual suspects like shampoos, conditioners, and pomades - with mousse and hairspray on the way - as well as a hair dryer and flat iron. The products are all in the mid-tier price range ($11.95 to $14.95) with the styling tools on the higher end of the scale ($119.95 for both the flat iron and the hair dryer), but the good news is that part of the proceeds will benefit the Wildaid wildlife protection program. I'm sold, how about you?

Kate Hudson's Animal-Friendly Haircare Collection

BellaSugar — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 05:00:07 -0700

Oscar-nominated actress, Hollywood mom and all-around cute lady Kate Hudson is about to add one more title to her resume: Co-creator of a haircare line. She's teaming up with stylist David Babaii to develop David Babaii for Wildaid, a forthcoming eco-friendly haircare collection free of sulfates, parabens, animal products and animal testing. Slated to feature shampoos, conditioners and styling tools, it should hit stores later this year. According to the press release, part of the revenue will go to wildlife-protection group Wildaid, which means your purchase will help protect endangered animals such as sea turtles and tigers.

Here's what Kate has to say about the collaboration:

"I've been asked to do a lot of campaigns in the past and this feels like the perfect fit for me. David is the best at what he does and he's put so much of himself into the development of this line. And the fact that we can do it in an ecologically responsible and animal-friendly manner that can help preserve wildlife is what makes this truly special."

If this line is able to replicate Kate's locks and help animals, what's not to like? Thanks to mmooney7 for pointing this out!

Beauty Byte: Lindsay Sued Over Tanning Spray

BellaSugar — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:00:00 -0700

Unfortunately, sometimes part of being a celebrity is dealing with lawsuits, whether something goes awry with a beauty contract, as in the case of Uma Thurman and Lancôme, or questions arise over secret ingredients in the formulation, as in the case of Kate Hudson, who helped develop David Babaii for Wildaid. Now, it looks like Lindsay Lohan is the next star facing some legal issues of her own.

In a lawsuit filed in Tampa, chemist Jennifer Sunday claims that Lindsay and her business partner, Lorit Simon, stole the formula for Sevin Nyne, a Lohan-endorsed tanning spray which launched back in April. According to the suit, Simon and Sunday had been hammering out details of the tanning spray, but weren't able to agree on pricing.

"The next thing we know, Lorit Simon and Lindsay Lohan are partnering and Ms. Lohan is taking credit for developing this formula, which she indeed had no role in," Sunday's attorney, Marcia Cohen, told the St. Petersburg Times. Whether it's all a big misunderstanding or there is truth behind these allegations, one thing's for sure: there's never a dull moment when Lindsay's involved.

How-To: Lauren Conrad's Twisty Braids

BellaSugar — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:00:33 -0700

Just when you think you've seen nearly every type of braid imaginable, leave it to Lauren Conrad to add her own twist. LC's time on The Hills may be over but that's not stopping the young star from pursuing other endeavors.

At last night's book signing for LA Candy and appearance on The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien, Lauren busted out the braids again. But this time, she chose dual French braids that looped together in the back, forming a loose, chic bun. Recently I got the scoop behind her iconic braids, and now, here are some tips on re-creating last night's updo version.

Get the how-to when you read more.

For a shiny effect with slight hold, apply a glossing gel to damp hair and blow-dry. Try Nivea Diamond Gloss Styling Gel ($12).
Part the hair down the middle. Starting from one side of the part, loosely French braid the hair all the way down, stopping the braiding at to the nape. Secure with an elastic band. Repeat on the other side. Note how Lauren's stylist only braided hair along the sides, leaving hair from the crown down to the neck out of the mix.
Leaving the two braids out, gather the hair from the crown down to the neck into a ponytail. Secure with an elastic band and twist hair around it, securing with bobby pins into the base of the pony.
Finish up by twisting and wrapping the two ends around the "bun" you created in the third step, using bobby pins to secure. Add a spritz of hair spray (such as David Babaii for WildAid Light Styling Spray, $12.50) for a little hold.

Inspired: Kate Hudson's Zac Posen Dress

CasaSugar — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 07:45:32 -0700

For my new series of posts, Inspired, I'll be looking far and wide to find inspiring ideas for your home. These ideas might be inspired by nature, architecture, or fashion. You never know when or where you'll be inspired! For my first post, I am absolutely smitten with Kate Hudson's Zac Posen dress from the 2009 Resort Collection, which she wore for the David Babaii for WildAid party.

I love the sheen on the fabric and the bold juxtaposition of emerald green, lemon yellow, and rich chocolate brown. The detailing on the bodice is divine as well. So, with these colors and detailing in mind, I rounded up some home items that would complement this lovely frock. In particular, I thought that the Thomas Paul pillow would fit right in with Kate's style, especially since her new hair-care line will benefit the wildlife protection program WildAid. Tell me, do you see anything here that you like as well?

Kate Makes a Break For Canada

Fresh from checking out the runways at New York Fashion Week, Kate Hudson headed to Toronto in the name of haircare products at the launch of David Babaii for WildAid Canada. Looks like David had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction, but that didn't stop him from smiling big with gorgeous Kate on his arm. Even after a night of partying and a flight up north, nothing stops Kate's bubbly personality.

Kate's Got Ryder to Help Ride Out Any Storm

Molly — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:30:47 -0700

Kate Hudson puckered up to give her main man Ryder a kiss on the cheek in NYC yesterday afternoon. The inseparable duo looked perfectly relaxed coming up on the end-of-the-Summer-signifying Labor Day weekend. It's a good thing she's got Ryder to keep her happy, especially when it may be a stressful week for the actress who, along with her friend and hair stylist David Babaii, is being sued for allegedly stealing the secret ingredient in their Wildaid line. Kate's no stranger to drama, but on the bright side, at least this time it's not about her personal life.

Kate Hudson Flies Solo With Flowing Curls

Molly — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 07:05:00 -0700

Kate Hudson kept her celebration of hair going at the party for David Babaii for WildAid in NYC last night. Of course, her blond locks looked fabulous once again, though the dress is a little busy. She was flying solo while we all still speculate about her rumored relationship with Lance Armstrong. She may not be ready to talk about that one, but at least when it comes to hair, we know one guy in her life that can enjoy her new line of products: her ponytail-ready boy, Ryder.
